Hi, Jeffrey!

Older iBooks actually had an internal PCMCIA slot with a Wi-Fi card in it. 
Rally kind of funny looking when you tore the machine down to that point 
(not a very elegant solution at all). Newer ones use mPCI, just like 
internal PC-based notebooks. Apple called their cards (I use past tense 
because I haven't seen one in some time) AirPort cards.

The process of connecting is similar to the PC. The OS sees the card as an 
ethernet adapter. There is a utility to store profiles and encryption 
settings, located in Control Panels. Configuration & connection are fairly 
intuitive, if you've had any experience with the Mac OS and the IP stack on 
it (even though the underlying OS in OS X is miles away from OS 9 and 
earlier, the newer being Linux-based).
